  Found in a television set's owner manual:

                              Do not pour liquids into your television set.

And please don't use your VCR as a toaster.

  Seen over front doors of stores and restaurants across the U.S.:

                            This door to remain unlocked during business hours.

If your employees haven't grasped this concept, why did you hire them?

My business has nearly doubled since i"ve opened the doors to paying customers.
